The universe in sandstone. Right on the threshold where Vienna's largest and most historic Kellergasse slumbers lies a place of stoic calm and geological perfection: the Ried Breiten. Here, where wine has found its home for generations, flysch rules beneath the surface, that Viennese sandstone millions of years old which casts this slope in a very special light.

At this site nature has worked a small miracle that has given us endless reasons for joy in recent years. It is a soil that reconciles opposites: when summer becomes mercilessly hot and dry, the rock shows its unexpected gentleness. The vine roots are able to penetrate it and, deep inside, come across a hidden universe of resources and moisture. And when a heavy storm passes over the Bisamberg, the flysch proves its ingenious architecture: the soils drain superbly, the water runs off, and the precious berries do not soak it up like a sponge. They stay concentrated, healthy and proud.

This balance of extremes is mirrored one to one in the glass. The result is a Sauvignon Blanc of fine precision. It captivates with a characteristic, wonderfully fresh and never overripe exotic fruit, carried by vibrant tension. The fine, noble note of fresh grapefruit caresses the palate like a cool breeze on a summer evening: a wine that unites the power of the sandstone and the charm of the Kellergasse with finesse.

The flatterer: deeply interwoven aromas and a flattering texture know how to convince. Its delicacy and crystalline nature are always worth a try.
Taste: intense, balanced and fruity

At WEINGUT CHRIST in Wien-Jedlersdorf, Sauvignon Blanc covers around 5 % of the vineyard area and grows in the Ried Breiten, a wonderful site that borders directly on Vienna's most beautiful, picturesque Kellergasse (lane of wine cellars).

The sheltered site favours early and complete ripening of the grapes, even in very late years.

According to analyses by the Federal Office of Viticulture (Bundesamt für Weinbau), the histamine content is below 0.1 mg/l and therefore not detectable.
